A warning about LJbook.com - please read this

[fpb]

A friendly lurker sends me the following message:

I was reading some of your old lj entries and I came across an enthusiastic recommendation of LJbook.com. I used the website, and shortly thereafter my blog was hacked. I believe there's some correlation (I've e-mailed both the owner of LJ book and the owner of the proxy that hacked me to see if I can confirm this), as I did not immediately change my password. I thought I might warn you, seeing as you recced it and will probably use it again in the future.

Regards

I have not had any problems that I know of, but I am publishing this warning nevertheless - and changing my password just in case.

I think this is the same service my brother recommended. (See http://lametiger.livejournal.com/23793.html.) As far as I know, he hasn't had any problems himself, but he did recommend changing passwords as a precaution.
